6.5 Routing considerations
This clause specifies the use of the Diameter routing AVPs Destination-Realm and Destination-Host. Requests initiated by the UAAF towards the CLF shall include both Destination-Host and Destination-Realm AVPs. The UAAF obtains the Destination-Host AVP to use in requests towards a CLF, from configuration data in UAAF or the NASS User profile from the PDBF. Consequently, the Destination-Host AVP is declared as mandatory in the ABNF for all requests initiated by the UAAF. Requests initiated by the CLF towards the UAAF shall include both Destination-Host and Destination-Realm AVPs. The CLF obtains the Destination-Host AVP to use in requests towards a UAAF, from the Origin-Host and Origin- Realm AVPs received in previous commands from the UAAF related to the same IP realm. Consequently, the Destination-Host AVP is declared as mandatory in the ABNF for all requests initiated by the CLF. Destination-Realm AVP is declared as mandatory in the ABNF for all requests.

6.6 Advertising Application Support
The CLF and UAAF shall advertise support of the a4 specific application by including the value 16777257 of the application identifier in the Auth-Application-Id AVP within the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id grouped AVP of the Capabilities-Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer commands. The vendor identifier value of ETSI (13019) shall be included in the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP of the Capabilities- Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer commands, and in the Vendor-Id AVP within the Vendor- Specific-Application-Id grouped AVP of the Capabilities-Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer commands. Additionally, support of 3GPP AVPs shall be advertised by adding the vendor identifier value of 3GPP (10415) to the Supported-Vendor-Id AVP of the Capabilities-Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer commands. NOTE: The Vendor-Id AVP included in Capabilities-Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer commands that is not included in the Vendor-Specific-Application-Id AVPs as described above indicates the manufacturer of the Diameter node as per RFC 3588 [9].

7 DIAMETER application
This clause specifies a Diameter application that allows a Diameter server and Diameter client exchange information related to NASS User network profile information. The Diameter application identifier assigned to this application is 16777257 (allocated by IANA). The Diameter Base Protocol as specified in RFC 3588 [9] is used to support information transfer on both interfaces. RFC 3588 [9] shall apply except as modified by the defined support of the methods and the defined support of the commands and AVPs, result and event codes specified in clause 5. Unless otherwise specified, the procedures (including error handling and unrecognised information handling) are unmodified.

5.2.2 Test case identifiers
The test case names are built up according to the following scheme: "<TC>"_"<Group index>"_"<TC number>" where: a) double quotes (") are used to enclose literal strings; b) <Group path index> is the group index in Table 1 (which uniquely identifies the path of groups/subgroups); c) <TC number> is a running 3-digit decimal number, starting in each subgroup path with "001". EXAMPLE: TC_CH_U01_001: i) the identifier has Group index "CH_U01", i.e. it is in the subgroup having complete path: SupplementaryServices_CH/ServedUser/WithUPDATE; ii) the identifier is the first test case of this group/subgroup. ETSI ETSI TS 186 007-3 V3.1.1 (2012-01) 8 NOTE: This naming scheme provides a 1-1 correspondence of TP identifiers as defined in TS 186 007-2 [2] and test case names. The TP identifier of TC_CH_U01_001 is TP CH_U01_001.

5.3.1 ATS Library
For this ATS the TTCN-3 library modules are basically organized as: 1) AtsCommon modules. 2) LibIms modules. 3) LibSip modules (RFC 3261 [4]). 4) LibCommon modules (taken from an improved version of TS 102 351 [8]).

183 064
4.1 Concept and Approach
This clause outlines concept and approach adopted in the present document. The approach is then applied to protocol selections, mapping to interfaces and protocol extensions. The present document focuses on defining protocols for flexible functional architecture described in [4], which can: • allow development of new IPTV subsystem in NGN; • integrate existing IPTV subsystem in NGN; • extend both to support other NGN services. In order to achieve high level of flexibility and support integration of existing subsystems, the work is focused on evaluating and endorsing protocols already defined for similar functions in [5] and other standard bodies. Protocol extensions are defined where applicable as well as overall applicability to the end-to-end architecture [4]. For example, recommendations are made how to integrate DVB compliant UE without modifications and DVB compliant system with minimal modification to the service layer.

4.2 Overview
The clause describes applicability of the protocols discussed further in the present document to reference points defined in TS 182 028 [4]. The overall functional architecture for the NGN integrated IPTV service conforms to [4]. Figure 1 presents mapping of protocols to interfaces in NGN integrated NGN-IPTV and to interworking with other NGN subsystems and common components.

4.3.9 Inter-destination media synchronization entities
Figure 1a shows the two functional entities involved in inter-destination media synchronization, i.e. the synchronization client (SC) and the media synchronization application server (MSAS). Optionally, there is also a Synchronisation Client' (SC'). These functional entities are described in clauses 4.3.9.1, 4.3.9.2 and 4.3.9.3. Figure 1a: Functional entities and reference points for inter-destination media synchronization. Media Synchronization Application Server (MSAS) Synchronisation Client' (SC') Sync’ Synchronisation Client (SC) Sync Session-level capabilities Media-level capabilities ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 19 As described in TS 182 028 [4], there exist different mappings of the SC and MSAS onto the functional entities depicted in figure 1. The mapping of the SC as an elementary function of the UE is aimed at small-scale deployments of services that require media synchronization and only if a limited number of UEs uses media synchronization. It reuses existing service initialization. The mapping of the SC as an adjunct function that may be co-resident with any of the appropriate elements of the Transport Processing Function is aimed at large-scale deployment of media synchronization. The process of inter-destination media synchronization involves two basic steps: 1) Synchronization initiation 2) Synchronization status information and settings instruction exchange NOTE: As the synchronization initiation is stateless, synchronization termination is not needed. Given these steps, the Sync reference point is decomposed as follows: • Synchronization initiation information is exchanged over the Tr reference point, using HTTP. Synchronization initiation information can also be exchanged over the Xc reference point, using RTSP/SDP. • Synchronization status information and delay information in the form of settings instruction is exchanged over the Xd reference points, using RTCP. RTCP reports with synchronization status information or synchronization settings instructions can be sent directly between UEs, if a direct communication channel between UEs already exists. In that case, one UE acts as co-located SC+MSAS as described in clauses 10.3.2 and A.13.2.3. The Sync' reference point is used to report synchronization correlation information on the synchronicity relationship between the incoming media stream (which could be received by some SCs) and the outgoing media stream(s) (which could be received by other SCs) from the SC' to the MSAS. The Sync' reference point uses RTCP.

183 064
4.3.9.1 MSAS
The MSAS is a functional entity that coordinates session synchronization with SCs and SC's for inter-destination synchronization purposes. The MSAS session-level capabilities are reflected as elementary functions of the CFIA, its media-level capabilities are reflected as independent functional entities or as adjunct functions other functional entities. For synchronisation using a direct communication channel between multiple UEs, the MSAS is co-located with the SC in a UE. Tasks of the MSAS are: • setting up and accepting synchronization sessions with/from SCs; • collecting synchronization status information from SCs; • collecting synchronization correlation information from SC's; • calculating delay information and derive synchronization settings instructions for the SCs and distributing synchronization settings instructions to SCs.

183 064
5.1.9 Procedure for User Generated Content
The UGC procedures consist of two main phases: UGC creation and watching UGC. The UGC creation procedure comprises four steps as described in [4]. Http is used between UE and CFIA over Tr reference point: • Step 1: Declaration of User Generated Content. • Step 2: Description of User Generated Content information by the UE. • Step 3: Creation of User Generated Content. • Step 4: Publication of User Generated Content information by the CFIA. In step 1 UE sends a User Generated Content creation request to the CFIA and receives a content ID from the CFIA using XML schema over HTTP. The content ID is location independent and globally unique. In step 2 UE sends a request to the CFIA containing XML description of the User Generated Content: name, type, restriction, textual description, special group and others. The XML schema for content description is provided in annex G. In step 3 the UE requests CFIA via Tr to post User Generated Content either directly via HTTP or upload/upstream in unicast to the MF. In case the UGC is upstreamed to the MF the HTTP request contains a SDP or XML session description of the media, see [5]. If the content is distributed to the MF, the MF confirms to the CFIA the location at which the UGC becomes available. The CFIA keeps the link between UGC content ID, UGC description and optionally the MF. When user generated content is uploaded using HTTP method PUT shall be used. When user generated content is upstreamed, HTTP PUT or HTTP streaming shall be used. NOTE 1: The speed at which content is transmitted with HTTP is limited by the available bandwidth. In the case of HTTP PUT, the difference between uploading and upstreaming lies in setting the bitrate for upstreaming such that the available bandwidth is equal or higher than the encoding bitrate. This allows for delivery of the file in real-time. In the case of HTTP streaming, content that is transported without storing or very limited buffering, similar to CoD streaming. NOTE 2: XMLHttpRequest can be used for asynchronous signalling of the content. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 25 In step 4 CFIA publishes this UGC description to the SD&S to make it available to subscribed UEs. CFIA may use existing notification mechanism to announce new UGC content to interested UEs (following http procedures defined in clause 5.1.5). The UGC description publication by the CFIA in step 4 may take place before, during or after the UGC content creation in step 3. After UGC publication a UE can select UGC by browsing SD&S and initiate watching of User Generated Content, or pre-select UGC by subscribing to UGC that has already been declared and published, but not yet created. These procedures allow a user to select and watch User Generated Content where initiation and delivery of UGC content shall used existing procedures (clause 6.1) for CoD, BC or PushCoD services. When a UE pre-selects UGC that has already been declared and published, but not yet created, the UE is notified by the CFIA when the UGC becomes available, using the existing notification procedure from clause 5.1.5. The notification follows the XML schema of annex C, where tIPTVNotificationActionType has the value "UGC_preselection" and tIPTVNotificationDescription contains the UGC ContentId that the UE subscribed to. The notification triggers the UE to initiate UGC retrieval using existing procedures (clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.6), at which the MF associates the upstream multimedia stream (this clause, step 3) with the downstream multimedia stream (clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.6).

5.1.10 Procedure for Content Recommendation
The Content and service RecommendationService (CRS) is used for providing recommendations to IPTV users or user groups. The recommendation service may make recommendations to user/groups based on different criteria including user profile, user indicated preferences, current viewing habits, historic user activities as defined in [4]. The recommendation may be in form of text message (notification), multimedia message, content bookmark (pointer to recommended content) or video recommendation streamed from MDF. The CRS service procedures include aggregation and correlation of metadata/information for recommendations as described in clause 11.9 in [4]. User profiling mechanism may be used for collecting and evaluation of user preferences (self settings of user interest), user data (service history, presence information, content bookmarks) and actual service state to provide support for correctly targeted Content Recommendation. CFIA may request content recommendation either based on UE actions or on trigger from external CRS. CFIA should deliver content recommendations via existing http notification mechanisms. If user accepts recommendation, the UE shall request delivery of recommended content using existing procedures for particular content type (e.g. CoD, BC, UGC, PushCoD, etc.) or generate content bookmark for later delivery request.

183 064
5.1.11 Procedure for Content Bookmarks
An IPTV Content Bookmark service consists of two main steps: • Creation of IPTV Content Bookmark: allows a user to create and store configurable pointers to content, e.g. entire or parts of content (favourite scene) to be able to quickly access the specified content and location. • Retrieval of IPTV Content Bookmark: allows to access directly content or exchange and share data about user's favourite IPTV content. Creation and retrieval shall use HTTP over Tr interface between UE and CFIA. Content Bookmarks should be stored in User Profile. User may enable sharing of bookmarks, in which case CFIA may update SD&S with bookmarks metadata. Content Bookmark shall used XML schema from annex F. Procedure for Content Bookmarks may be adopted by other services and procedures to identify point and share pointer to exact content (from defined time as entire or part of the content) as for example: • Service continuation. • Content recommendation. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 26 • User interaction. • Interactive TV. • Notification (about content or specific part of content). Content Bookmark primary purpose is to set a personal user bookmark (which will be used by user or send to other users for sharing the bookmark), but same content bookmark mechanisms should be used as well by IPTV system itself pointing out the content or to refer to timestamp in content (following structure of XML schema in annex F). CFIA should control the use and authorization for any of the mentioned content bookmark. For some services may be Content Bookmark linked with content metadata (e.g. service selection information) and/or content description (as in annex G).

5.1.12 Procedure for Interactive TV
CFIA shall provide the UE with the selection of Interactive IPTV applications. After selection of Interactive IPTV application (e.g. as for example one from listed in clause 11.19 Interactive TV procedures [4]), the UE sends HTTP request to CFIA via Tr reference point to initiate selected Interactive TV application. The selected application can either be located with CFIA, or externally, in which case the UE shall be provided with URL of External Interactive IPTV application (clause 5.1.14). The UE should implement an HTTP [9] compliant web browser with JavaScript support. Special requirement for CSS is to support to enable rendering capabilities and adopted for presentation on TV. NOTE: A particular implementation of the Web Browser is outside the scope of the present document; however, most of widely used browsers can be supported. CFIA should act as HTTP proxy or redirect UE to external ASFs.

5.1.15 Procedures for Client PVR (UE)
In order to provide Client PVR (c-PVR) service, the UE initially select required content from EPG/BCG via customer facing IPTV application and requests scheduling selected content for recording in the UE. Before the recording start, CFIA shall send notification to the UE based on clause 5.1.5, Procedure for Notifications, to initiate scheduled recordings (when UE is online). The application of IGMP protocol between UE and TPF for content delivery shall comply with BC procedure (clause 7.1.1 Procedure for BTV service). After the UE joins multicast channel, it shall start recording the content as Client PVR stored on the UE storage. Watching of recordings is performed locally in the UE and no further interaction with CFIA or SD&S is required. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 27

183 064
5.1.16.1 Synchronization Client (SC)
Upon a request for inter-destination media synchronization, the SC shall send an HTTP GET request to the MSAS. NOTE 1: There are various ways to convey which services require inter-destination media synchronization. This can be signalled via SD&S information (e.g. the BCG/EPG/ESG), through a shared service control session, with notifications, recommendations and others. The SC shall include the SyncGroupId as part of HTTP GET request. If the SyncGroupId is known, it shall be set accordingly. If no SyncGroupId is known, e.g. because the SC is first to setup the inter-destination media synchronization, the SC shall include the parameter but leave it empty. The SyncGroupId HTTP parameter is conveyed as an URI parameter and shall use the following format: • "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] "/etsi/sync/syncgroup?SyncGroupId=" SyncGroupId SyncGroupId is a 32-bit unsigned integer in network byte order and represented in decimal. The value SyncGroupId=0 represents an empty SyncGroupId. The value 4294967295 (2^32-1) is reserved for future use. The following URI shows an example of a reference to a sync group: • http://iptv.example.com:80/etsi/sync/syncgroup?SyncGroupId=1073774600 The HTTP Accept header shall include the content-type identifier that corresponds to the MIME type of XML documents representing synchronization parameters: "application/vnd.etsi.iptvsync+xml". If the SC is mapped on the UE, then the SyncGroupId parameter may be contained in the HTTP GET request for service initialisation, see also TS 182 028 [4], clauses 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. NOTE 2: The ways that an SC can obtain a SyncGroupId are similar to obtaining a phone conference id. For example, one user can request a new SyncGroupId through an off-line process, and share it with other users through an offline process. If the group of users does already have a group identifier, e.g. a phone conference id, they may reuse this identifier. When the SC receives an HTTP 200 OK response, the SC shall be able to deal with the following parameters, as described in clause 5.1.16.2: • ssrc-id; • rtcp-port: IP address plus port number; • SyncGroupId. The parameters are part of the XML payload in the HTTP response; see annex E for XML schema. The SC shall keep these values for use in synchronization status information and settings instructions procedures, described in clause 10.3. Since the SSRC value may change if an SSRC conflict is discovered at the transport level, the SC shall be prepared for this. When leaving a synchronization group, the SC shall send an HTTP DELETE request to the MSAS. The SC shall include the SyncGroupId as part of HTTP DELETE request.

5.1.16.2 Media Synchronization Application Server (MSAS)
Upon receiving an HTTP GET request, the (session-level) MSAS shall be able to deal with the following parameter. • SyncGroupId. The SyncGroupId is received as an URI parameter, see clause 5.1.16.1. If the MSAS cannot retrieve a SyncGroupId parameter from the HTTP message, no further procedures apply. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 28 The MSAS shall assign a media-level MSAS using the SyncGroupId. If the SyncGroupId is present and empty (SyncGroupId=0), the MSAS shall assign a new SyncGroupId to the synchronization session and it shall assign a media-level MSAS address and port to be used for this SyncGroupId. If the SyncGroupId is present and is assigned a value, the MSAS shall check if this value is known. If this value is known, the MSAS shall lookup the media-level MSAS address and port to be used for this synchronization group. If this value is not known, the MSAS shall assign an MSAS address and port to be used. If the SyncGroupId is empty, the MSAS shall store this SyncGroupId and assign a media-level MSAS address and port to be used for this SyncGroupId. NOTE 1: The MSAS can assign address and port values from a different media-level MSAesS if necessary. The MSAS shall include in its HTTP 200 OK response to the SC the following parameters: • ssrc-id; • rtcp-port: IP address plus port number; • SyncGroupId. The parameters are encoded in XML using the XML schema defined in annex E. The ssrc-id is a 32-bit unsigned integer in network byte order and represented in decimal. The SyncGroupId is a 32-bit unsigned integer in network byte order and represented in decimal. The Content-Type header shall be set to the MIME type "application/vnd.etsi.iptvsync+xml". If the MSAS is mapped on the CFIA, then the sync interface maps on the Tr interface, and these parameters may be contained in the HTTP 200 OK response for service initialisation, see also TS 182 028 [4], clauses 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. NOTE 2: In case of a BTV service, in order to distinguish RTCP reports coming from the media-level MSAS and from the multicast media source, they can have different addresses. Upon receiving an HTTP DELETE request, the MSAS shall respond with a 200 OK message.

5.1.17 Procedures for Personalized Channel (UE)
Personalized Channel (PCh) service allows user to define and watch one or multiple pre-configured/scheduled content items as a single (virtual) channel in timeline as user schedule on UE via Tr interface using HTTP protocol. UE shall construct Personalized Channel playlist follow XML schema specified in annex I (XML schema for Content Playlist). 5.1.18 Service continuation This clause discusses procedures for service continuation. 5.1.18.1 Procedure for service continuation using Content Bookmarks As described in [4] in clause 11.12 service continuation should be provided between two NGN IPTV UEs. The procedure is applicable for the following services: - Trick modes on broadcast TV. - Content on Demand. - Time-shift TV. - Network PVR. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 29 Service continuation contains two phases - pause and restart (sometime refer also as park and pick-up) where Content Bookmark procedures (from clause 5.1.11) should be reused in following way: • Pause for service continuation shall pausing actually watched content and creation of IPTV Content Bookmark with pointers to content (CoD, recorded as nPVR/Time-shift/BCwTM) and timepoint. • Restart of paused service then shall in second phase continue on bookmarked content and timestamp. Creation and retrieval shall use HTTP over Tr interface between UE and CFIA (Content Bookmark itself is based on the schema from annex F). Content Bookmarks should be stored in User Profile.

6 Procedures using RTSP for NGN integrated IPTV
The Real Time Streaming Protocol [6], or RTSP, is an application-level protocol for control over the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips. This clause defines usage of RTSP in dedicated IPTV for interactive control between UE and IPTV service control functions: IPTV-C and MCF. RTSP application for interactive service control over IP multimedia delivery is defined in DVB-IPI [5] and unless stated explicitly otherwise, the application defined in DVB-IPI [5] is used. Service selection The service discovery and selection process as defined in clause 5 provides UE with the RTSP URL for initializing interactive multimedia delivery session. The URL discovery methods are discussed in clause 6.1.1 of [5]. The format of RTSP URL shall comply with [7]. Session transport A transient TCP connection is a temporary connection that exists only long enough to transmit one or more requests. The UE should use transient connection for exchanging control messages on Ct2 interface for selecting most suitable MCF function. After MCF is selected there is no need to keep the connection. A persistent TCP connection is a lasting connection between a client and RTSP server, all requests and replies are sent over the same connection, and the connection remains intact until the session is completed. The UE should use persistent connection for RTSP control over interactive media delivery on Xc interface. The usage of persistent connection is discussed in clause 6.1.2 of [5]. Optionally, transient connection can be used on Xc interface. A method to keep a persistent connection active is discussed in clause 6.1. Security considerations Security considerations discussed in clause 6.1.4 of [5] apply. Optionally HTTP Digest Access Authentication can be applied to RTSP control messages as defined in [7]. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 30 Mapping between DVB and TISPAN profiles The services defined in the service level requirements and NGN integrated IPTV architecture is identical when mapped to DVB service profiles as defined in table 2. Table 2: Mapping between TISPAN IPTV services and DVB service profiles TISPAN Service DVB Service profile BTV LMB BTV with trick modes MBwTM CoD CoD Time-shift TV CoD Network PVR CoD RTSP Methods RTSP methods supported for each profiles and their definitions are identical to clause 6.3 [5]. The requirement to support XML structures in clause 6.3 of [5] is optional. SDP parameters can be used instead. RTSP Headers The pause trick mode operation may be signalled by the standard RTSP PAUSE message as defined in [6]. RTSP scale header with 0 value is optional.

NOTE 2: ANNOUNCE, DESCRIBE, OPTIONS are optional methods which are not shown explicitly on the NGN integrated IPTV flows, but may be supported by UE and MCF. Coupled mode: In the coupled mode Customer facing IPTV applications reserves the delivery resources via IPTV Control on Ss interface and returns the UE RTSP URL with the exact location of the MCF to request interactive media delivery. The format of RTSP URL shall comply with [6]. The UE in the coupled mode shall send RTSP SETUP message containing at minimum RTSP URL, Sequence, and Transport headers to establish video delivery. Sample message flow in the coupled mode is shown in table 4. Table 4: Sample RTSP message flow in coupled mode RTSP Method from UE RTSP Method to UE Reference point Notes SETUP Xc UE requested on-demand session from MCF RTSP 200 OK Xc PLAY Xc UE requested the play-out to start RTSP 200 OK Xc GET_PARAMETER Xc UE sends heartbeat to keep the session active RTSP 200 OK Xc PAUSE Xc UE initiated trick mode RTSP 200 OK Xc ANNOUNCE Xc MCF made asynchronously announcement to the UE, e.g. "End of stream reached" RTSP 200 OK Xc TEARDOWN Xc UE closed on-demand session RTSP 200 OK Xc Decoupled mode: In the decoupled mode Customer facing IPTV applications return the UE RTSP URL with the exact location of the IPTV control. Resource reservation, selection of the exact MCF and session recovery is done via IPTV control at the time when the delivery is requested. The UE in the decoupled mode shall send RTSP SETUP message containing at minimum RTSP URL, Sequence, and Transport headers to establish video delivery. Sample message flow in the decoupled mode is shown in table 5. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 32 Table 5: Sample RTSP message flow in decoupled mode RTSP method from UE RTSP method to UE Reference point Notes SETUP Ct2 UE requested on-demand session from IPTV control REDIRECT Ct2 IPTV Control nominates MCF and reserves delivery resources SETUP Xc UE requested on-demand session from MCF RTSP 200 OK Xc PLAY Xc UE requested the play-out to start RTSP 200 OK Xc GET_PARAMETER Xc UE sends heartbeat to keep the session active RTSP 200 OK Xc PAUSE Xc UE initiated trick mode RTSP 200 OK Xc ANNOUNCE Xc MCF made asynchronously announcement to the UE, e.g. "End of stream reached" RTSP 200 OK Xc TEARDOWN Xc UE closed on-demand session RTSP 200 OK Xc Decoupled mode can be used for on-demand session recovery in the real-time, e.g. due to MCF failure. The UE upon detection loss of stream repeats session initiation sequence from table 3, supplying the last position of the received video in the "Range" header of the first PLAY method. The newly allocated MDF continues media delivery from the interrupted position instead of the beginning. If the UE contains sufficient buffering, multimedia session is recovered without visible artefacts. Using both transient and persistent connection the UE should keep the session active by sending heartbeats in the form of RTSP GET_PARAMETER method at the negotiated time inter RTSP. This method is applicable to any control session during CoD, BTV with trick modes, time-shift TV and nPVR.

6.1.3 Procedure for BTV with trick modes service
NGN integrated IPTV media broadcast with trick modes session is a service level aggregation of broadcast and on-demand sessions. Combined session flow is shown in clause 11.3 of [4]. Before starting the service, the UE shall request from the Customer facing IPTV applications RTSP URL from where the interactive media delivery can be requested using RTSP protocol. The service is started by joining broadcast channel as specified in clause 7. The UE can pause the stream by leaving the broadcast stream as discussed and clause 7 and optionally setup interactive media delivery using identical procedure to the COD service, clause 6.1.2. Both coupled and decoupled modes can be supported. In the coupled mode Customer Facing IPTV application nominates a particular MCF for on-demand media delivery. In the decoupled mode the selection is performed in the real-time during switch to the trick mode. Sample message flow for BTV with trick modes in the decoupled mode is shown in table 6. ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 33 Table 6: Sample message flow for BTV with trick modes in the decoupled mode from UE to UE Reference point Notes IGMP JOIN Xd (Dj, Dl or Ds) UE requested to join broadcast channel.

6.1.4 Procedure for time-shift TV
In order to provide time-shift TV service, MDF records TV programs available on the broadcast channels. The programs form a part of EPG (BCG) as discussed in clause 5 and should be requested on Tr interface. After selecting time-shifted content from EPG/BCG, the UE requests from the customer facing IPTV applications RTSP URL for initializing multimedia delivery time-shifted content. The procedure from this point is identical to CoD service defined in clause 6.1.2.

6.1.5 Procedure for nPVR
In order to provide nPVR service, the UE initially selected from EPG/BCG via customer facing IPTV application what content should be recorded in the MDF as discussed in clause 5. When the recording has been initiated, UE can request from the customer facing IPTV applications with the available recordings. The application of RTSP protocol for content delivery is identical to CoD procedure. NOTE: Both coupled and decoupled modes are supported for nPVR. In the coupled mode, client is allocated precise disk quote on a selected MDF. The MCF associated with the MDF is always selected for interactive control over nPVR services. In decoupled mode, statistical optimizations are possible, e.g. only one or small number of content copies is created and users are redetected to the nearest copies via Ct2 interface using RTSP REDIRECT. Content delivery's procedure is identical to time-shift TV service, MDF records TV programs available on the broadcast channels. The programs form a part of EPG (BCG) as discussed in clause 5 and should be requested on Tr interface.

6.1.6 Procedures for Push CoD (UE, IPTV-C)
Push COD can be initiated by CFIA based on subscription, user profile or defined IPTV service provider offer. When CFIA identified event and time to push content to the UE, it shall send notification to the UE as described in clause 5.1.5 Procedure for Notifications before uploading or streaming of the content to the UE (procedure described as Push content from MDF). ETSI ETSI TS 183 064 V3.4.1 (2011-02) 34 Push CoD in case of unicast content delivery shall use unicast RTSP/HTTP based streaming or HTTP based download of CoD content. Where Push CoD content is streamed/downloaded from MDF to the UE. The UE stores push CoD content for later consumption. Push CoD multicast content delivery shall used BC multicast stream or optionally multicast download based on FLUTE from MDF via transport processing functions. The UE joins push CoD as BC service without immediate presenting content to the user. The UE instead stores push multicast CoD content for later consumption. The IPTV system shall support following download session types as described in [5], clause 10: • Scheduled Multicast Download (SMD) Session. • Carousel Multicast Download (CMD) Session. • Unicast Download (UD) Session. The UE and MF functions shall support all mandatory features of all three types of download sessions [5]. URI of PushCOD content and PushCOD download session descriptions can be provided in XML or in SDP syntax shall follow [5], clause 10.3.2).
